PERSONAL PROFILE

I have been working as a Graphic Designer for more than 18 years and I have gained an excellent knowledge in all areas of design, web design, animation and the motion graphics. I am very passionate about the industry I am involved with and am proud to be considered one of the top graphic designers in California and to have achieved nationwide recognition for my work.

I see one of my major strengths being my adaptability. I am able to jump easily from being a graphic designer, to a video editor, to an animator, to decision maker. This adaptability can also be seen in my design work where I am able handle any task I’m given, be it ad campaign, web, multimedia, motion, branding, or print.
